Why the study?
Does adjunctive intracoronary thrombolysis at the time of primary PCI improve clinical and myocardial perfusion parameters in patients with STEMI?
Does adjunctive intracoronary thrombolysis at the time of primary PCI improve clinical and myocardial perfusion parameters in patients with STEMI?
Adjunctive intracoronary thrombolysis during primary PCI for STEMI appears to improve clinical and perfusion outcomes without increasing bleeding risk.
May support adjunctive IC thrombolysis during primary PCI for STEMI; extends individual trial data via meta-analysis.
Adjunctive IC thrombolysis at the time of primary PCI in patients with STEMI improves clinical and myocardial perfusion parameters without an increased rate of bleeding. Further research is needed to optimise the selection of thrombolytic agents and treatment protocols.
